Liverpool Sells Luis Díaz to Bayern Munich for £65.5 Million

Luis Díaz is set to complete a transfer from Liverpool to Bayern Munich, with Liverpool receiving a guaranteed fee of around €67.5 million (£58.6 million) plus potential bonuses, making him one of the most expensive signings in Bundesliga history. Díaz, who had requested to leave Liverpool in 2024, will sign a four-year contract with Bayern and reportedly earn about €14 million annually. His departure frees up significant funds for Liverpool to pursue other targets, notably Newcastle striker Alexander Isak, whose odds of joining Liverpool have drastically shortened following Díaz's sale. Liverpool's transfer strategy includes reinvesting the proceeds from Díaz's sale to bolster their squad, having already spent heavily on players like Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike. While Díaz gave up the iconic Liverpool No. 7 shirt, he is not considered one of the club's definitive bearers of the number but nonetheless contributed positively during his tenure. Liverpool's sale of Díaz represents a profitable business move by Fenway Sports Group amid a summer of major transfer activity aimed at strengthening the Premier League champions' squad.
